Thailand Seizes $1m Ivory From Nigeria (Video) by dridowu: 1:13pm On Dec 19, 2015 |
Hai authorities have seized 700 kilograms of smuggled ivory, worth around one million U.S. dollars, officials say. The elephant tusks, 289 pieces, were packed in a box which originated from Nigeria and travelled through Singapore before landed in Thailand's southern Koh Samui Customs on December 10, the Customs Department said in a statement. Authorities have now launched an investigation into the shipment and those behind it. The seizure comes as Thailand - a top destination for African ivory smuggling in Asia - is under increasing pressure to crack down on its illegal ivory trade or face sanctions under the Convention on the International Trade of Endangered Species (CITES). Much of the ivory smuggled into Thailand from other countries is turned into ornaments that are shipped to China and Vietnam to meet burgeoning demand. In January, Thailand passed new legislation to regulate and control the possession and trade of ivory. Under the law, possession of African ivory for sale in Thailand is prohibited. In April, Thai customs officials seized four tonnes of ivory worth $6 million in what the department called the largest bust of its kind in Thailand's history. Over 20,000 African elephants were killed for ivory in 2013, a CITES monitoring program showed, leaving a population believed to be around 500,00. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaSxiQIHdrM http://in.reuters.com/video/2015/12/18/thailand-seizes-1-milion-worth-of-ivory?rpc=401&videoChannel=1&feedName=TopNews&feedType=VideoRSS&videoId=366731471 |

Terrible reportage. And here I was, thinking the shipment was owned by the Federal Government or Thailand had sent soldiers to storm our borders to seize ivory. What kind of a headline is that? The shipment was illegal and originated from Nigeria. Doesn't mean it was shipped by the Federal Republic Of Nigeria. So why say Thailand seized ivory from Nigeria? 1 Like |

Samiceman:You see when I come across folks like you, I just feel like doing something nasty to you, like pinching you . You see we're discussing something very important that could affect our children's children and ur here talking nainities about some dull football manager. Man U gets tanked by Norwich, LVG gets paid his millions tomorrow while you and many other fans who wanna act like 'they own the club ' would lament and analyze the match for another week. I don't watch football but it pains me how our youths waste their most productive years on unprofitable ventures. 2 Likes 1 Share |
